As you know we shipped PernixData FVP 3.0 version yesterday, but what you might not know is that we also shipped PernixData FVP Freedom Edition. This in my opinion is an exciting addition to the product family and based on the feedback we have already received it’s taking off in a major way!! Keep in mind this is totally free software with no restrictions or time limits.

For those unfamiliar with the Freedom Edition I have outlined the supported features that come with this release.

If you want DFTM-Z (Memory Compression) or the ability to configure Write Back for your virtual machines then you can easily upgrade to our standard and enterprise licensing options.

Freedom Community ForumWe are launching with the Freedom edition a brand new community forum. This is to provide support and collaboration among the Freedom users. As you might guess, we are planning to add a lot of content over the next few weeks, so the more questions or interaction you have on the forum, the more it will make it useful for the Freedom community. In order to access this forum, you can visit https://community.pernixdata.com and click sign-in. We have enabled SSO support, so all you have to use is your same PernixData download portal account and we will redirect you back into the community forum.

If you haven’t already requested the Freedom edition, you can request access here. Once registered you will automatically receive an email with instructions on how to gain access to the software and portal. This is totally an automated process, so you will get your Freedom license key the same day you request it!!
